I once contemplated Suicide

I once contemplated suicide, 
But only if I couldn’t have you by my side, 
Reading my eulogy, shedding a few tears is nothing compared to the endless ocean before my eyes, we are given this one life,
Lord will you accept my apology before I do the deed? 
Will you embrace me the way I’ve left the world you’ve created for me? 
will anyone miss me? 
Dark blue seas I cry, if only I could fly. 
These thoughts flow through my brain for lack of love, for grief, for me to escape. 
Am I insane or somehow conforming to this world full of Hate. 
But WAIT will this anxiety and anger be my FATE?
The chambers of my heart so empty and cold with knowledge comes understanding. This is getting old. 
To let the devil win. I would never. Jesus please help me before I take this endeavor. 
Forgive me now. 
At your feet I bow. 
I give it all to you 
Because I know my promise is in You.

Virtuous Woman

Inspired to write. Right?
Rise up Queen ?? Take in the Scene you have everything you need to succeed no more heartbreaking, blood flowing, anxiety filled recollections of the past.
Coming into my womanhood letting go of the pain at last??
This is the year I no longer fight the devil on his level. His ceiling is my floor NO MORE 
Virtuous woman?? don’t look back??
That rearview mirror will only make you crack. My God is still the source of my strength! Strong Woman  ???? I will not crumble but remain humble 
because of who you are, I give you glory for you alone know my story.
He will be a spirit of justice for those who sit in judgment.
Would you cry out for Jesus like you do your favorite team? Floating down the stream you scream! Streaming live! You’re drowning all at once taking in your surroundings filled with hope and aspirations you blink and breathe again, I promise he’s your friend ?? protector, provider, supplier of all my needs this peace ?? you give me that surpasses all understanding.
Vivacious woman grab that rock and climb it’s your time don’t forget to keep a sane mind your enemies want to see you fail
 but I’ve got another story to tell??
 I don’t get paid to argue with you??
Hold on wait ??? I’m just about through ...protect your peace and guard your heart, and remember he loved ?? you from the start ??  ??

Redemption

Inspired to Write ??? right?

I recently thought back to a time in my life I was so vulnerable. 
Flashbacks of a fist to my HEAD ????
I don’t wanna be dead. ??
This love I found I don’t wanna lose, please Lord help me choose.
Help me choose to love myself,
Help me choose to do things I love ?? 
Help me be brave when there’s no other way to be.
With my life partner next to me
Help me find ME ??
The world moves so fast, I look over my shoulder and yes, my babies are getting older.
Dry up my tears Lord.
Take away my fears Lord. 

Years later I STILL need your strength Lord. 
All the things I miss I feel I’ve lost.
But you clear the path ahead ....??
When the time is right, my soul please take, show me with your spirit use me Lord for your will. 
Let my story be a testimony.
I no longer wish to be lonely.
Please Lord walk with me on this journey..
